Wedding paella catering near Honor Oak
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Honor Oak, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Connect us with your coordinator
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The menu, dish by dish
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.

FAQs for Honor Oak
Can you cook in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
